Delhi HC refuses to stay release of film based on Sushant Singh Rajput’s life on OTT platforms, cinema halls

The Delhi High Court on Friday declined to stay the release of the film ‘Nyay: The Justice’ — which is reportedly based on the life of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput — on OTT platforms and cinema halls.

Rajput’s father Krishna Kishore Singh stated in an appeal that the movie has been released on an “obscure” website and sought a stay on its release on any other OTT platform and in cinema halls.

The vacation bench of division bench of Justices Anup Jairam Bhambhani and Jasmeet Singh, while issuing a notice for July 14 to the respondents in the appeal filed by Singh, said there was no allegation of copyright violation and prima facie nothing to show that there would be “any detrimental effect” on Rajput’s reputation by production of movies about his life.
